Day 40 of God’s Love for Us February 8, 2018 “Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Just as it is written, “For your sake we are being put to death all day long; we were considered as sheep to be slaughtered.” But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through him who loved us” (Romans 8:35-37 NASB ). Satan will give us all of these tests and struggles, including money and comfort because he hates God. Satan does not like you and me or Read More

Day 33 of God’s Love
Day 33 of God’s Love for Us December 7, 2017 Why did Jesus Christ die on the cross? I think Paul put it it very plainly in his letter to the Galatians, when he wrote, “It was for freedom that Christ set us free (died); therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery”(Galatians 5:1 NASB). There were 613 laws for the Hebrews during Jesus’ time. He narrowed that down to “Love God” and “Love your neighbor as yourself.” When He said this, Jesus opened the door for you and I and all the Read More
Day 31 of God’s Love
Day 31 of God’s Love for Us November 30, 2017 We know that love comes from God. “By this, love is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgement…There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love”(1 John 4:17-18NASB). Perfected here has the meaning of moral character becoming perfect. Fear comes from the devil and is the opposite of love. If we love God, then we need to love ourselves. God doesn’t hold grudges against those who Read More
Day 30 of God’s Love
Day 30 of God’s Love for Us November 29, 2017 What is love? Is it just an emotion, or is it something more- an action? Love is a choice, and choice is an action. “Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God”(1 John 4:7NASB). I heard a pastor say today, “…if you don’t love your neighbor, you don’t love God;” he went on to say, “If you have a problem with someone else (your neighbor), your relationship with God isn’t right.” He derived his statements from Read More
Day 26 of God’s Love
Day 26 of God’s Love for Us November 15, 2017 “Because he has loved Me, therefore I will deliver him, (This is God speaking to us when we set our love on Him); I will set him securely on high, because He knows My name. “He will call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in (times of) trouble; I will rescue him and honor him. “With a long life I will satisfy him and let him see My salvation.”””(Psalm 91:14-16) God’s love for us is a promise when we love Him in return. He Read More
Day 22 of God’s Love
Day 22 of God’s Love for Us October 18, 2017 “Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and whoever loves the Father loves the child born of Him.”(1John 5:1) When we accept Jesus Christ into our lives, then He becomes our Messiah. Christ actually means pardon or forgiveness. Jesus was the Messiah, the chosen one to do God’s work of bringing the people together under Him in love and harmony. When we accept Jesus as our forgiver, our savior, then we become joint heirs with Him. We become one of God’s children, just as Him. At Read More
Day 21 of God’s Love
Day 21 of God’s Love for Us October 10, 2017 This sounds powerful and should be embraced I think, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”(2Timothy 1:7 NKJ) From my study bible it says, “Paul urged him (Timothy) to be bold. When we allow people to intimidate us, we neutralize our effectiveness for God. The power of the Holy Spirit can help us overcome our fear of what some might say or do to us, so that we can continue to do God’s work.” (NASB notes Read More
